Chapter 1: You Have A Sister!
Depression was not a feeling that Nepgear had ever had a chance to grow accustomed to, however it seemed as though nowadays it was all she could feel. It had started with an unexpected phone call for her mother histoire followed by a look that Nepgear had never seen on her mothers face... sadness. She knew she wasn't going to like what her mother was going to say next, but nothing could ever prepare her for the news her mother was about to deliver.
"Nepgear... I don't know how to tell you this but..."
"What is it mom?"
"Your father passed away earlier today."
Hearing that had sent Nepgear into a pit of depression that seemed to get deeper and deeper as the days passed. It started with a sense of disbelief, like it couldn't be true, it just couldn't her father was always a strong man. After a few moments the crying started, it was slow at first, but after a few moments it became a full on waterfall of emotions that kept pouring out and refused to stop. Histoire could only hold her daughter and comfort her in silence as she bawled her eyes out, the girl loved her father and admired him greatly even though he had very little time away from his job overseas to actually visit. Nepgear was crushed and after her tears had become dry she could only sit silently in her mothers caring embrace as her mind did everything it could to come to terms with this soul crushing news.
In time Nepgear was looking a little better... or at least she was until the funeral. It was as if everything had come flooding back out as if it had never left in the first place. All of her friends were trying their best to bring a smile back to her face though it seems like it would easier said than done. She had begun to lock herself into her room for hours on end and her mother was growing ever more concerned for her fragile daughter. Histoire needed some time to think, because despite all of the drama with her father's passing and the funeral there was still something else she needed to tell Nepgear. She just hoped it would it would have a positive effect on the poor girl.
Histoire began ascending the stairs to Nepgear's room until she stood in front of the door. She lightly knocked on the door... when no response came she decided she would just say it and get it out there.
"Nepgear... there's something I need to tell you."
...'Still nothing ...okay then here goes nothing' it was time for Histoire to drop the bomb and hope for the best.
"I'm sorry I never told you this but... you have an older sister and she's coming to live with us today." After a short moment of silence the door began to creak open just enough for Nepgear to peek her head out. Needless to say, she was more than a little curious as to what her mom was talking about not to mention very VERY confused.
"I have a sister?"
"Yes"
"Well... goodness I... I don't know what to say... why didn't you ever tell me?"
Histoire was both relieved that Nepgear was actually talking and more than a little worried about how to explain this to her. She was also relieved that she hadn't asked too many question about her "new" sister.
"What's her name? Does she know about me? What is she like?"
'This might take a while' Histoire didn't really know how to answer, in fact she had never really met the girl, all she really had to go on were the things she'd been told by her husband. Though at the very least she did know her name.
"Neptune..."
"Is that her name?"
"Yes, and as for the reason I never told you about her... well it's complicated and I'm not really sure myself. From what your father has told me there were certain... circumstances that kept from coming to see you."
"Circumstances? then is that why you never told me anything?"
"Yes, it seems as though the only reason she's coming to live with us s because she has nowhere else to go now that... well you know."
"...Well then, do you know why she lived with dad at least?"
'oh this might get kind of awkward, but she deserves to know... I just hope she doesn't take it the wrong way.'
"Mom?"
"Oh y-yes right I'll tell you all about it, but it's a long story so you might want to sit down for this." Nepgear was rather quick to get to her bed and take a seat. Her face displayed a mixture of curiosity, anxiety and a little bit of excitement, just looking at it made Histoire feel a thousand times more confident. In that momment Histoire felt like she could move mountains, fight demons, and she even felt like she was at least 3 inches taller... until she looked at Nepgears face again and remembered that she had some explaining to do.
